A) First, we drive to Ribnica, and then we continue driving towards Kočevje. After Dolenja vas we continue right in the direction of Grčarice, Gotenica and Kočevska Reka. In Kočevska Reka we continue right in the direction of Borovca pri Kočevski Reki, mountain pass Strma Reber and Osilnice. In Borovec we once again continue right, and then past hamlet Ravne in a few kilometers we get to mountain pass Strma Reber, which is situated at an altitude of 993 meters. From the mountain pass a short descent follows, and then we get to a larger parking lot, where on the left side we notice also map of Kočevje mountain trail and mountain signposts for Firstov rep and Cerk. From the crossroad where we leave the main road Ribnica - Kočevje there is approximately 30 km of relatively nice asphalt road.

In Kočevska Reka we continue left in the direction of Borovec pri Kočevski Reki, mountain pass Strma Reber and Osilnice. In Borovec we continue right, and then past hamlet Ravne in a few kilometers we get to mountain pass Strma Reber, which is situated at an altitude of 993 meters.

From the crossroad where we leave the main road Kočevje - Petrina there is approximately 18 km of asphalt road.
C) From Osilnica or Sel pri Osilnici we continue in the direction of settlements Žurge, Padovo pri Osilnici, Zgornji Čačič and mountain pass Strma Reber. Further, we drive on at first slightly winding, and higher zigzag road, which after nineteen marked hairpin turns brings us to a crossroad, which is located only a few 100 meters before the mountain pass Strma Reber. At the crossroad there is a large macadam parking lot on both sides of the road, "cottage", in which is sand for spreading (sand for the purpose of road maintenance workers), and on it a map of Kočevje mountain trail. We park on the mentioned parking lot. From the center of Osilnica to the starting point is 8.5 km.

Path description:
On the opposite side of the road from the map of Kočevje mountain trail, we notice a marked cart track which at first runs parallel with the road which is descending towards Osilnica. When the cart track passes into the forest, it moves away from the road more to the right, and after a few minutes of descent brings us out of the forest on the edge of the mountain pasture Bezgarska planina. Here we continue straight and past a smaller garden in a minute or two of additional walking, we ascend to a bigger hunting observatory, in which it is also possible to spend the night.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2015 (August).
